Can anyone confirm my recollections please? Are Superstar Switch hubs really Novatec D881/D882 hubs? I need some end caps to convert from 135mmQr to 142x12mm through axle. Damn sure I can but not sure which hubs I have.

Try emailing them if you haven't.
They replied to my emails about issues I've had with a wheelset recently.
Email is next, but fancied spending the weekend shopping . TA
I recently got some front 15mm adapters for a superstar switch hub from SJS cycles which were advertised as novatec D541. Don't know about the rear though.
Yes.
don’t believe what the trolls make up. I’ve never been banned etc, infact a lot of what they say is literally made up. Clearly got too much time in their hands.

What bikes are 142mm ?, is that a specific to hardtail thing 😕 Just I thought everything was 148mm these days.

You do realise that the vast majority of people don't own new bikes?

142mm through axle is the newer standard for road/endurance/gravel, taking over from 135mm quick release

So, Neil@superstarcomponents has nothing to do with the 'fruit' username which used to frequent these hallowed halls, yet is strangely absent if you try to find the account...

If the username was changed then you may not find the old one.

And there I was thinking my 2015 full susser with the latest in standardisation-to-end-them all-142mm was modern.

but it features the latest cast iron frame and pre vulcanized tyres.
Where did that come from?
No idea but at least he answered the question.
Didn't he?

Bless your naive soul. The boost standard was unveiled in March 2015 and Superboost in February 2018. Your 2015 bike was probably obsolete before you bought it! 😉

Can’t believe anything you read on this site, I’ve heard.
Johnnystorm the standard took a while to actually become standard, Nukeproof Mega for example wasn't 148 boost until the 2018 model.
